March 28, 2012 • 3:30 PM • Law School 4172

Matthew Adler, Visiting Professor, Duke Law School, will discuss his new book, Well-Being and Fair Distribution: Beyond Cost Benefit Analysis, which offers a comprehensive, philosophically grounded argument for the use of social welfare functions as a framework for governmental policy analysis -- a framework that is welfarist but not utilitarian, and sensitive to the distribution of human well-being.
